WACO, Texas (FOX 44) - The Waco Police Department is set to host its sixth annual Back to School Bash this weekend! We find out why this year's event is bigger and better than ever in our interview above!

Why this matters in The Waco

The Waco Police Department's sixth annual Back to School Bash is a welcome event for local families, particularly those who may struggle to afford school supplies. As the new school year approaches, many parents in McLennan County are concerned about the financial burden of providing necessary materials for their children. The Back to School Bash offers a valuable resource for these families, providing them with the tools they need to succeed. By hosting this event, the Waco Police Department is not only helping to ensure that local children have the supplies they need, but also fostering a positive relationship between law enforcement and the community. As the event continues to grow and improve, it is likely to become an even more integral part of Waco's back-to-school tradition, and a testament to the department's commitment to serving and supporting local residents.
